Handmade Christmas Wreaths

I attended a wreath making workshop a couple of weeks ago and I'm so pleased with the result!



All of the materials were provided, and the instructions of how to turn wire, moss and holly into a decoration, and great fun was had by all.



There was a lot of "ouch-ing" because of the holly, despite the fact we were all wearing gardening gloves of some sort, but the end result was worth the pain.

How are your Christmas decorations coming along? Ours are all up and we're ready to go - there is at least one very excited little boy in my house!

I'll be joining up with Handmade Monday so join me there if you can to catch up on the Christmas craft goings on.

Love Natalie

  1. Did the class have a swear box for all the 'ouch-ing'?... You're right though, it was worth it as it's beautiful. Will you be making another one next year?

    Our decorations are going up after lunch this afternoon. I can't wait !!!!! xx

  4. Oooh that sounds so fun! Love your wreath too, the orange slices are a lovely addition.

    Holly is devilishly prickly isn't.. i remember that from having a go at a mini wreath for our door last year! x

  5. Aaaah, it is really lovely - and bit painful, but worth it. Hope you have a good week.

  6. This is lovely, I like the orange slices you've included. Holly is wicked, even with heavy gloves on it still gets you, but worth it in the end :)
